The pumped storage hydro power station at Foyers is this year marking 50 years since it began producing power. It was officially unveiled by the then Secretary of State for Scotland, William Ross, on April 3, 1975. The imposing building that juts out into Loch Ness close to the village – the most visible part of the whole operation today – could well be joined by others around this vast expanse of water if renewable energy developers get their way.

Heading into summer, it’s the perfect time of year to see nature at its best, and we’ve been lucky in the Highlands recently with the long spell of dry and sunny weather – even if it wasn’t always the warmest. The cool northerly winds definitely took the edge off the heat, but the spring flowers seem to have been having a bumper year, in my experience.
